DENVER—Denver’s manager of safety says a decision to reinstate an officer fired for driving 88 mph hour over the 55 mph limit while intoxicated disrespects the efforts of police “to maintain high standards of professionalism.”

Safety Manager Alex Martinez is appealing Tuesday’s decision by a three-member Civil Service panel. The Denver Post reports ( http://goo.gl/Gf0Ra) that Martinez says the “decision completely misrepresents the disciplinary code” and that the city would never hire someone “who had engaged in this behavior.”

The panel says Martinez acted outside the realm of the discipline matrix and did not account for personal trauma that officer Derrick Saunders was going through at the time of the incident on June 17, 2010.
